200 metres
from the
Circumvesuviana
Binario Centrale Guest House is located at 54 Via Firenze, on the 4th floor, in the Stazione Centrale district of Naples. The Circumvesuviana station at Piazza Garibaldi — the train line connecting Naples to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento — is literally a stone’s throw away.
You don’t need a taxi or bus to get to the station: just step out of the entrance, walk 200 metres and you’re already on the platform. When you return, whatever the time, your room will be there waiting for you.
The guest house is also well connected to Capodichino Airport (direct Alibus service, ~15 minutes) and to the port of Naples for ferries to Capri, Ischia and Procida.
Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento
and much more — by train
The Circumvesuviana departs from Naples Central Station, 200 metres from the guest house: a train that, in the space of an hour, takes you through two thousand years of history, from Vesuvius to the Sorrento Peninsula.
Pompeii
Stop: Pompeii Archaeological Site – Villa of the Mysteries
- Archaeological Site of Pompeii (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
- Villa of the Mysteries – extraordinary Roman frescoes
- Amphitheatre of Pompeii – the oldest in the world

Herculaneum
Stop: Herculaneum Excavations
- The Herculaneum excavations – better preserved than Pompeii
- Roman villas with original frescoes and floor mosaics
- Villa dei Papiri – the largest Roman villa

Often overlooked compared to Pompeii, Herculaneum is even more impressive because of the state of preservation of its ruins. It’s perfect for a packed morning before lunch in Naples.

- Cliffs and views over the Gulf of Naples
- Limoncello and local specialities
